Which Curse? Curse of the Elements if there’s no Boomkin/Unholy DK
Otherwise Curse of Weakness (yes, I had to look it up) (doesn’t stack with Demoralizing Roar(Feral Druid), Demoralizing Shout(Warrior), Vindication(Paladin in the Ret tree)
Otherwise Curse of Tongues (srsly.. are there bosses who aren’t immune to this?)(doesn’t stack with Lava Breath(BM Hunter)(exotic pet), Mind-numbing Poison (Rogue), Slow (Mage))
Srsly.. can we get another curse? Like Curse of the Not Boring.. or something. Where is my evil.. my whiff of darkness.. srsly.. elements, weakness, and tongues /sigh

I’ve been watching threads on the Warlock’s Den for a while. There’s some good stuff going on over there.. unfortunately 80% of the threads are people saying “I’m not getting as much DPS as I think I should. What am I doing wrong?” These threads aren’t bad.. but eventually they get a little repetitive. The answers are always the same. The people who reply check the same things every single time to figure out what the poster is doing wrong. So.. here you go.. here is my generalized list of how to maximize your DPS in order of importance. Start with number 1 and work your way down. Don’t skip ahead.Continue reading “Whar’s ma DPS?” Affliction Checklist

I think Blizz is getting a smidge sloppy with Warlock tooltips. It’s kind of the “We’re going to change them entirely.. so meh.. whatever.. they’ll be fine for a few months.” There’s a few things going on in Warlockery (most specifically Affliction) that unless you’re obsessive about watching for blue posts (or notice something in testing) you may have missed.Continue reading Not in the notes

Open Question #3: – I -think- Felpuppy is the best pet.. but is he better than Doomguard? Should I use Doug when not on cooldown or stick with Fzygwhateverhisnameis? Is it worthwhile to throw down Infernal for last 30% of the fight60 seconds of the fight and replace the felpuppy.. or should I only summon infernal [...]

Which do you choose Curse of Agony or Curse of the Elements or Curse of Doom?

Agony does damage.. but Elements increases your damage and the rest of your raid’s damage. BUT Elements shares a debuff slot with “Earth and Moon” cast by Boomkins (should be part of their DPS rotation) and with “Ebon Plaguebringer” cast by Unholy Deathknights (passive part of their rotation).Continue reading Elements VS Agony VS DOOM

I finally got a moment with SimulationCraft and found out they’ve made really nice improvements to the tool. I was able to setup several profiles on WowHead and then use those to generate information. I still haven’t figured out how to get them to show up side-by-side.. I have a feeling I need to edit a config file and I haven’t had time to do that.

Quick&Dirty SimulationCraft howto:
Download the SimulationCraft project and install it somewhere.
Launch the code by clicking on the executable (simcqt.exe).
Read the instruction (ok, I know you’re going to skip them.. at least skim the instructions).
Click on the “Import” tab.
Navigate to an import source (WowArmory or an already-set-up WoWHead Profile).
Click the “Import!” button on the bottom right-hand corner of the application.
Click the “Simulate!” button on the bottom right-hand corner of the application.
Marvel at the pretty pictures.
